The Fascination of Quake up to Quake III Arena

#Quake revolutionized FPS gaming in 1996 with its fully #3D engine, dark gothic atmosphere, and fast-paced gameplay.
It wasn’t just a game but a milestone that shaped multiplayer with intense #deathmatch battles and laid the foundation for #esports.

#Quake2 shifted to a #scifi setting with improved graphics and gameplay, keeping the pace high and expanding the modding scene.

Then #Quake3Arena focused purely on competitive multiplayer, refining movement mechanics like #rocketjump and #strafejump, making it the ultimate #arenashooter. The series’ legacy lies in its technical innovation, community-driven #mods, and timeless #gameplay that still inspires #FPS gamers today.

🎉 Happy birthday #Quake! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the #QuakeEngine. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.

#HalfLife and #CounterStrike are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer #FPS history. Earlier, #Doom (1993) set the stage with groundbreaking 3D visuals, network play, and the birth of #Deathmatch.

The evolution continued with #idTech2 through #idTech5 powering games like #Doom3 and #Rage. Developer #JohnCarmack was the technical genius behind id’s engines before moving to #Oculus.

Which #idTech-based games do you remember?

Continued thread

I'm moving forward slowly. I'm spinning around a bit to find the four power cubes in the Supply Station to finish this passage.

I'll eventually find them, more than 25 years later I've completely forgotten.. where.

But so much fun!! :0)
